Yeah, I agree. It has been lackluster so far. I will sit back and wait to judge too harshly, given that it is June, but it has my attention. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have no depth and should be using that to our advantage when recruiting DBs. These coaches have proven themselves though, so time will tell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I trust these coaches to evaluate and find players before the top schools sometimes, and we've seen that happen with a few players now, where they had s#!t offers and we found them and then they got good offers. In the post I'm quoting it says he's had better offers now and a visit from the national champion 2 years ago, among others. Whereas with the last coach I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to find out they just evaluated players by looking at who offered them, end of story.

I think 247 has an article about what Fisher values in recruits. Can't read it bc I am not a member but I am guessing he is looking for specific guys who are competitive, physical, and got a little dog in them. Guessing he would take dennard and Prince type guys over Lamar Jackson types. Way too early to judge but your concern is legit. I am very excited to see cam Taylor, cam homes, and Braxton Clark develop. I am sure his group he brings in this year will be cut from a similar mold.

ScottyIce 2,986 Report post Posted June 26, 2018 Ugh. Why can’t we let them recruit, get guys on campus, show what they can do on and off the field and then judge? Let’s can Fischer already. He doesn’t know what he’s doing, am I doing this right? Seriously, yes we want highly ranked guys, but there are plenty of great college football players who were overlooked coming out of HS. Can we please just hold off on overly critical comments about recruits we have no clue about? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swmohusker 1,362 Report post Posted June 26, 2018 Kids tape is pretty impressive. Plays field or boundary corner, nickel corner and deep safety. Shows ability to cover, make plays on the ball, and tackle. Makes plays at inside and outside wr spots, as well as running back on offense too. Has a play around the 3:40 Mark were he refuses to let up on a play and chases down a screen that should have went for a touchdown. For a corner that is built more like a cover guy he is not afraid of contact. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mavric 17,213 Report post Posted September 27, 2018 Talked quite a bit about how he loved his visit. Said he doesn't have a list of favorites but if he had a Top 5 Nebraska would be in it. Working on setting up a visit to West Virginia next month and planning to visit NC State in December. Also hearing from LSU and South Carolina - but no offers - so he's considering unofficial visits to those schools. He said he probably won't have all his officials taken by December so he's planning to wait and sign if February. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
